“Security at UAE border crossings reviewed”
The article relates to population and migration because recently, the UAE government has decided to slightly mitigate its border policies. These strict border policies, in the government’s opinion, have allowed for much economic growth, stability, and safety. The temporary travelers passing through the United Arab Emirates will undergo different processes for their journeys. The country, however, will continue to maintain its strict immigration policies in hopes of keeping it safe.
The article is very memorable because it deals with an Arab nation that most Americans are less likely to know. Many a person has no idea that this economically booming nation has tight laws against immigration. It’s even more interesting that there used to be strict policies for just travelers. America may have some strict policies, but for the most part it does not, because the economy depends largely on tourism.
